strong typing: 2 + "2" is an error (e.g. Python vs JS)

static typing: 2 + "2" does not compile/parse (e.g. Python vs mypy, Typescript vs JS)

this is a very simplistic example, but should get you to feel the difference.

I think this example is not correct, because static typing doesn’t affect how values of different types interact. And while I don’t know of any staticly typed language where specifically `2 + “2”` is a valid expression, statically typed languages definitely can be weakly typed: the most prominent example is C where one can combine values of different types without explicitly converting them to the same type (`2 + 2.0`).

I believe strong/weak and static/dynamic are orthogonal. And my examples are:

- Strong: `2 + “2”` is a error,

- Weak: `2 + “2”` makes 4 (or something else, see the language spec),

- Static: `var x = 2; x = “2”` is an error,

- Dynamic: `var x = 2; x = “2”` is fine.

weak typing: 2 + "2" is 22
